Citrina Classic

When we posted Citrina Fashion, we were almost immediately asked if we were going to do a classic version in those colours. We hear and we obey!

Citrina Classic.

We love this look. It is so fresh and bright and fun, and well . . . classic! Vivian did a lovely job.

Stop by to see us again soon. Love, Hattingdon.

Classic Debbie

Debbie Hattingdon blog post featured image.

Hello and welcome. We have a classic hat for you today. Hooray! say classic lovers.

This also happens to be the Debbie hat’s blog debut, created by Vivian in the distinctive classic hat silhouette.

The Debbie classic hat features a crown and brim in deepest navy, with a hatband and “nosebobs” in a rich red. They complement each other beautifully.

Doesn’t she look handsome? Hattingdon can go anywhere in that hat.


Trivia Time. When Hattingdon started wearing earrings, we referred to them as “earbobs” — a Southern expression. A bit later on, we began calling the ‘bobs’ on her noseband “nosebobs”.

Thank you for visiting with us.

Vivian’s Fave Hats: U V W

This has been an amazing project. We have one more post following this one, and that will complete the alphabet.

Again, Vivian has selected some very pretty headwear for us today. There is a bonus hat too. Let’s go!

Classic Hat

This hat is stunning. The colour combination is so chic, and we love the safari vibe.

Fashion Hat

This hat was created in July 2016 and is in the top twenty all-time most popular hats. It may even be in the top ten, which is amazing. Hattingdon has 100s of hats now, so there is a lot more competition.

That butterfly is still mesmerized by the button.

Bonus Hat

This hat hardly ever gets an outing and it is so darling and fun. It is goes way back to Vivian’s earliest days. It was so long ago she cannot remember the year. A good possible guess is 2010.

Vivian named the hat Vita. Vita is a feminine name derived from the Latin word meaning life. If this hat does not give you a “hatful of smiles”, nothing will.

Vita Hattingdon.

Where does she come up with these ideas? Hattingdon looks good in green doesnt she?

See you back here tomorrow with Vivian’s final picks.

Vivian’s Fave Hats: Letter E

We have two very special hats for you. Eden and Etienne.

Classic Hat

Eden is a sweet hat created in the classic silhouette featuring a lovely bamboo inspired pattern. The colours are soothing and lovely. It features a teal dome, a sky blue hatband and stylish olive brim.

Etienne is one of Vivian’s all-time favourite hats. She created the original design very early on, long before what you see here.

Isn’t she fun? She doesn’t look amused though, does she? Ha ha ha. This design “has come a long way baby!”
